Hey I Am No Old Fossil

Dec 16, 2013

GPC_8661 About two years ago I first met Yves Farges and the Canadian businessman had qualified online for the WPT Prague after cashing before in the WPT Paris. He also played in the Old Trafford on a table with Sam Trickett and was obviously delighted to make it to Prague once again.

Now you should not imagine him as the typical online qualifier with a hoodie, dark sunglasses and Bose headphones but rather a well dressed older guy that you would also meet up with for a drink. Exactly this may classify him as "old fossil" to the younger generation, to quote him from the thread on Pocket Fives:

"A sick run will be just as welcome as a slow steady destruction of players who stereotype me as an old, tight fossil that thinks "poker" is that thing for the fireplace"

We will keep a close eye on him, his table draw includes Michael Polchlopek and Govert Metaal.
